Drowned In n CisterrI.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 11.-Saturday
evening Robert Steele, the Waterman OF the
Memphis oil works, on entering the ware
house Of the Chickasaw Refining Company
heard spashng in an abandoned ciatern
that had been uncovered by the wreck of
portion of the flooring. Looking down in
to the dark aperture, he saw something
struggling in the water, which he at first
took to be a dog, but soon found that it was
coored boy. Steele ran and got pole TO
reach to the boy, but returned to the brink
of the cstern only in time to see the little
fellow sink out of sight. He summoned
several OF the colored laborers on the pre-
misses and with their aid fshed up the body
of the boy whose name proved to be Willie
Bryant, and his age 10 years. Sunday the
body of another colored boy, Willie King,
was found in the cstern. An inquest was
